    Another jump hunting outing fail. The forest just doesn't offer as much as the desert or dunes in that department. Best I could do was a bump in the road and barely get the tires off the ground IMG_2143.PNG.jpg

    It's been around for a while. It was mostly local SD guys that get the kit. Pretty sure it came out around 2010- 2011. I've heard mix reviews about the Truck Shop / Built Right over the years. It probably just depends on how busy they are. Here is an example of a truck they worked on.

    I love it. Video is crap so I won't upload. But once I do find a good jump I'll make sure it's fully documented.

    Considering a rear axle swap before installing my DMZ kit.
    I'm +3.5 camburg up front.
    Do y'all think a 68" ford 9 housing is wide enough? Suggestions, or opinions. No facts please! Ha!

    wide enough for..what?

    Thats only i think 2'' wider than what you have now..i believe 2nd gen axles are 66"..might be 65.

    So 1'' wider per side.

    Not gonna be enough to run outboard shocks if thats what you want.

    Wide enough for what - to make the swap worth it? I'd say it's more for the strength of the 9" since front track width doesn't have to match the rear for any reason other than aesthetics and if the rear were narrower it would reduce the turning radius.

    Do any of you guys get a shitty clucking in your steering colum when driving over anything even moderately rough? My steering wheel is tight for sure and I checked all the bolts in the linkage and they are all tight, it seems like it’s coming from the u joint linkage in the steering assembly just before the rack, has anyone else had this issue or is it just me?
